What is the heart disease?
Your heart is a muscle that gets energy from blood carrying oxygen and nutrients. Having a constant supply of blood keeps your heart working properly. Most people think of heart disease as one condition. But in fact, heart disease is a group of conditions affecting the structure and functions of the heart and has many root causes. Coronary artery disease, for example, develops when a combination of fatty materials, calcium and scar tissue (called plaque) builds up in the arteries that supply blood to your heart (coronary arteries). The plaque buildup narrows the arteries and prevents the heart from getting enough blood.
Statistics and Facts
*Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Canada and accounted for at least 33% of all deaths (34% among women, 32% among men) in 2002. *Men are more likely to develop heart disease early in life; women tend to "catch up" around menopause. Women experiencing heart disease or stroke are often under-diagnosed or managed differently than men. *For the fiscal year 2002-03, there were about 411,000 acute care hospitalizations, or more than 300,000 Canadians hospitalized. *According to the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey conducted among persons aged 12 years or more, five million Canadians say they are affected by heart disease, hypertension and stroke. *Cardiovascular disease is the most costly disease affecting Canadians. In 1998, it was responsible for $18.5 billion in expenditures, or 11.6% of the total cost of all illnesses in Canada. Of this, $6.8 billion was in direct costs, particularly for hospital care, and $11.7 billion was in indirect costs, most due to premature death.
